Hi, all -

My management has just seen the sense of centralized security.  I would 
like to strike while they are interested enough to do this.  Can anyone 
recommend good vendors of Kerberos implementations?  We will probably 
look at Tranarc since we are looking at Encina for development 
uses, but its adoption is by no means certain.

Our environment is HP-UX and AIX, with MS Windows (Powerbuilder) on the 
desktop.  We are seeking to provide end-users a 
single login and password for access to all of their authroized servers 
and applications (that is how Kerberos implements authorization and 
authentication, is it not?).

BTW, does anyone know if there are efforts underway to resolve the 
differences between Transarc's implementation and MIT's?  It sure makes 
Encina look like a proprietary solution from the security standpoint...

TIA!
